Heavyweight Curtis Blaydes addressed his opponent Josh Hunit's trash-talking approach ahead of their fight. Blaydes compared Hunit's style to Colby Covington but noted that Covington at least backed it up with skill. Blaydes stated he won't participate in the theatrics and views Hunit's behavior as attention-seeking for viral video moments. The American said engaging with Hunit outside of fight night would be a waste of time. Blaydes appears focused on the in-cage performance rather than the buildup drama.
